It's not just mail

Thank you for your comments. You need to also tell others how we might be the only eyes that daily sees the home of your elderly loved one. We notice if the mail from yesterday is still in the box and ask why. I have dropped off eye glasses , meds, and other things that have been accidentally left somewhere, watched for a customers lost dog, and so on. Not just me but other rural carriers also. No, it's not just mail.

The Mail Moment

I couldn't agree with you any stronger. After delivering the mail for over 25 years, I am convinced that the Postal Service goes way beyond the delivery of so called "junk" mail. We are a National treasure that touches each and every address in this great nation on a daily basis. Everything must be done to insure that this remains a viable system forever.
In many aspects we are an arm of national security. If our computer system is breached nationally for a length of time, who else but the Postal Service can reach everyone almost instantly. How would you pay your bills ? And so on.
While we are apparently struggling financially, there are remedies for it. We are very top heavy in Managerial positions that often replicate themselves, we have invested unwisely in machinery that wasn't cost effective, and there has been a general failure to promote our products to the households we serve.
So, the Mail Moment, Priceless, just ask the kid who opens up a birthday card from Grandma.
hand-written letter

Let us not forget the power of a hand-written letter. How many have we composed and how many have we received. Letters have carried good and bad news, hope and inspiration, forgiveness and love, encouragement and information, instruction and insight, direction and a warm and fuzzy feeling all over. I still have hand-written letters that I received as a child, from pen pals, friends and relatives. I love writing them on fancy stationery and I enjoy receiving them even if the handwriting is hard to understand. In addition, I get to choose the stamp I want to grace the envelope, according to what I'm saying in the letter. Write a hand-written letter to someone today and watch the magic of the mail unfold. The Postal Service is not just for paying bills, it's much, much more.

Use of mail to pay bills

I send my mortgage through the mail every month using the certified mail receipt to show that I mailed it timely. I have been doing this since June of 2007 right after I was granted a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy to save my home. At least one out of every three I sent came back with no signature and 2/3 of each were not even tracked in their tracking system. I have complained to Management and Consumer Affairs too many times and have not gotten satifation let alone results to my complaints. I have talked to Kansas City; Carol Stream; Dallas and even Washington DC. It is important to me to get my mortgage to the company (AMC then Citi and now AHMSI) in a timely manner. I pay for this service. I keep getting told they will reimburse me. What I want is for them to do the job that I have paid them to do. Get the certified receipt signed and input into the system and dated. I am still waiting on my certified receipt that I sent February 25, 2009. I cannot believe that I am the only one.

But you will no longer have your mail delivered by the USPS if you live and/or have your business on one of several private inholdings in the backcountry areas within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. The USPS has cancelled the mail contract with the carrier who for many, many years has flown this route. The USPS says these people are now eligible for a free post office box in Cascade, Idaho. Lot of good that does them since many of them are 60 miles from the nearest road, and once they reach that road they have another many miles to drive (if the road isn't closed by snow) to reach the Post Office.
